This is the 4th book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Maru is a cadet at Barakus Academy and in order to love off the base he joins the Companion Program. Reina is to be his and is feistier than he expected. Will they find a work together? Fast-paced read with plenty of drama and steam. There characters are a lot of fun and the world building is excellent. I really liked it.
I loved Maru, big bad intimidating alpha male that softens for his mate! Absolutely fell down the rabbit hole within the Athenaverse.

Spoiled brat meat conceited brat! Ding! Maru is very well-off. He is born into all this money and he claims it is his even though he has not on the dime. So his dad says hey you need to go to military just so we can still make good connections and maintain face with our company. So he orders his Butler to sleep in his bed at night so he can try Lala with other women. When he is cut his sergeant kicks the Butler off planet. Not to mention he was served cheese and I guess version of ale or wine while he was supposed to be waiting to start his morning routine in training. Good gravy! So now he’s trying to figure out how to manipulate to get off-campus and still live the life.
Rena she has been in the Academy since she was three. The problem is is that she is not ready to go into the “real world”. When she is caught sneaking out trying to get a little fun the mistress of the Academy states that she’s not ready and she needs to observe more and better herself. But considering she’s learned so many languages, philosophy, international rules and all this other stuff she believes she’s ready for leave it. So in a fit of desperation she demands that she gets matched up so she can leave the Academy. And all this happens in the first few chapters!
So this is how this falls down into the craziness of this evolving relationship. Reina who is unimpressed by that spoiled brat who is unimpressed by the conceited brat. I can’t put this in a more summarized story. It is funny. It is truth or dare between two people who have no clue how to handle real life situations that are put in circumstances that makes them mature. A definite rate. A good laugh. Definitely will make you roll your eyes up in your head and say really? Definitely worth the time to read.

Enter Reina not a push over like expecting but o so much better. Watching them grow and become better for it. Looking forward to reading more by Athena Storm.

Maru was a spoiled and entitled young alien warrior who met his match when he tried to outwit the military system. Ha! The joke was on him and he found himself captured by the game! Reina was everything he did’nt know he needed in his life and his parents worst nightmare. If you haven’t yet read the Brides to Beasts series, you need to start. This story will have you all up in your feelings! The author weaves a really good tale that draws you in and won’t let you go until you’re done. You like action? Maru has it. You like down and dirty, up in your face steamy scenes? Maru has it. If you are looking for a HEA, Maru has it. I read this book fast (as soon as I got it) because there is ALWAYS something going on in the Athenaverse and one book is never enough. I need one per week I think.

I loved how this story develops. The author takes two Maru and Reina, two characters that initially I thought would be shallow and self centered in there own ways and expands them into multi faceted individuals. Their story is funny and sweet and I love it when the heroine and the hero save each other. A must read.

Maru is a cadet at Barakus Academy when he decided to contract a companion in order to get other better living arrangements. Reina accepts the contract and is sent to meet Maru. Danger lurks close by when Reapers attack and Reina is taken hostage along with others. The book is full of action, danger and the love that is growing between Reina and Maru. There is a HEA for the two of them, but a lot happens first. I loved the story and highly recommend it as a great read.

The book starts with Alliance and Coalition as well as Trident Alliance and the Interstellar Human Confederation. The book is about Maru wanting to have a place off the base so he can do what he wants. Maru thinks if he got engaged he could live with hi finance’ so he fast track a Companion contract with his family connections and wealth. Reina was in the Companion program because she could not handle blood or want to shoot people. Reina was telling her headmaster that he was ready to have her own contract but the only one that they had was for an Alzhon. Now would be the time to get this book. I will be getting more from this author.
This was another great story about Reina a companion that has been in training for years and Maru an Alzhon, that belongs to the wealthiest and most powerful families. He’s in the Alliance Military , because his parents think it will bring them more money and power to have military ties. So because he is confined to the academy and can’t go out partying, he decides to get with a Companion. Between the two one has to win. You get to read how a beautiful women gets under the skin of a spoiled man, that thinks all women will fall for him.
